    I lived in Bee Cave for over year and half and never came here. I always drove past this place. Luckily, I came here to eat. I thought the food was delicious, I was craving pho. I got the brisket pho. The service was and the atmosphere was good. My kid got the chicken fried rice no veggies. She liked it. I would come here again to try something else. I would recommend this place.

    Cute little spot with friendly workers, and food that will do when if you're craving it. I got the pho because they're called Pho House and was kind of surprised by how expensive it was. Even more so surprised when I started eating. Don't get me wrong, the pho wasn't bad. But it was also morning to write home about. The broth was pretty light, but it wasn't as deep as I have experienced at other spots. And while I know rice noodles are on the more delicate side, I feel like these noodles didn't really have any chew at all, which I do prefer. And then I was even more surprised to see how small the portions are. Usually a regular bowl size of pho is enough as a meal for me. But I was still hungry after. I thought maybe it was just me? Though one other friend agreed with me. It was obvious that was the case though, when my friend who usually gets full easily finished her bowl and also wasn't satisfied. Also their ac vents were dripping, so we definitely had a few moments while we were eating where it got on us.

    Jason is the man! What a great and friendly server. We had the pho and basil fried rice both were equally tasty. My only complaint was that I wish the beef in the fried rice was more crispy. Other than that it was a great experience.

    This is a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. There's plenty of food parking and you're right by the Hill Country Galleria for shopping, movies, etc. The menu is extensive and offers something for everyone. There's plenty service is very fast and efficient. They have robots that deliver boba teas and smoothies for a fun touch for the kids. Nothing fancy but a good value for a decent meal for sure.

    Food is great and is our regular go to restaurant. We get 2 days dinners from each to go order. Was very disappointed today as container was slightly over half filled. See picture.

    Food was awful. Least effort possible. No flavor. Service was nice though. 35$ was a waste for one app and a meal.

The sushi restaurants start making a lot of their rolls with "spicy" ingredients. They are cutting their costs by blending ingredients. Not my favorite choice in a sushi place.

Treated like the regular I was, always phenomenal service, offered me special off menu items on every visit, the freshest fish, exquisite presentations...just wow. And a great happy hour to boot. Thennnnnnn... About a year prior to my last restaurant visit, I had ordered an extra large assortment of items ($$$$) for delivery for a special occasion at home. It had been a while, but I noticed immediately something was "off." Bottom line, everything was just sloppy and not as fresh as it always had been in the past. I chalked it up to delivery versus dine in. There was something in the back of my mind though that told me that Chef Sun would never have let those items leave the restaurant. Fast forward to in-house dining again. Visible wear and tear on the restaurant interior (looks old). A few plates were even chipped. Might sound nitpicky, but in my humble opinion they need to reinvest some money into the restaurant to get it back up to its shiny self. The service was lackluster, slow, cordial but not necessarily friendly. Some of my favorite menu items (such as the yummmmmy sea bass) are no longer available. Prices were significantly higher than they used to be; however, that's everywhere right? Pft. Decided to order some "safe" dishes that had always been personal favorites. Go to "Red Hill Tower" was served first. The presentation was all right. Not as meticulous as it used to be. When I dug in mixed it all together I noticed how horrible the knife work was. I mean they butchered the tuna. Knife skills are very important in sushi. Many chefs train for years. Flavor was a-okay with all the house sauces, but for 20 bucks it left me wanting more. Gyoza was greasy and chewy. Rice in California Roll was on the dry side. Katsu was also quite dry and lacked flavor. Admittedly the vegetable tempora was pretty tasty. Not surprisingly, I was informed that the restaurant had been purchased by new owners quite some time ago. All of the changes are so apparent, and none are positive. Quality control and pride of stellar presentation and service has disappeared. Tadashi is now (sobbing) sadly just another subpar sushi restaurant with much higher prices than most. Goodbye my old friend. I have no intentions of returning. :(

I love the Loro in DFW, but the original location in Austin is where it all began. This is a must visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The cuisine is creative and elegant, but Loro's genius is its ultra casual setting. Instead of white tablecloth and fancy silverware, there are wooden picnic tables that maximize seating while mimicking the comforts of your backyard. "Grab a beer from the cooler and sit at a picnic table" vibe. 1 Star. Service - There's no beer cooler, but there is an awesome staff that begins with taking your order at the bar. They'll give you a buzzer, and when your food is ready the Loro team will bring the dishes straight to your table. The service is so great and efficient and it's like "fine dining" fast casual. 1 Star. Food - The menu is very unique, mixing Texas smokehouse techniques with Asian underpinnings. The Pork Belly Char Siu is a must order. We ordered this (non-bowl version) because we wanted to focus on the hoisin sauce, super tender "melt in your mouth" pork belly with pickled cucumbers to help cut the richness. We also ordered their Texas Two Step lunch of a juicy onion burger and potatoes that reminded us that Loro can do fancy and comfort at the same time. Both dishes were satisfying and delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I live in Dallas and Loro has opened in North Texas, but the original location in Austin is a great rzeminder of how great restaurants are meant to be shared with others. 1 Star.

I thought mint and fruit didn't belong together but this is actually a very nice lychee drink. Brussel Sprouts 5/5 This is what I kept munching on throughout the dinner! It was the best appetizer, came with so much, soft with crispy edges, sweet, salty, and spicy. A little too salty at times but very good overall! Calamari 2/5 This calamari was overly salty?! I tried it without the sauce and the salt was just coming through so much. The sauce was a really yummy sweet thai sauce but genuinely so spicy. Raw Oysters 1/5 For the price, I expected large oysters but they came out with these small, thumb-sized oysters :( They were a bit fishy and grainy, very disappointing! The sauce was good though! Fried Shui Mai 4.5/5 Definitely not shui mai! But very delicious, crispy, and the sauce is great as well. Sauce is also spicy! Green Curry 5/5 This was very delicious! Although a bit salty, the rice balances it out. I like this one because of the basil flavor and how the spice is only a hint. Very creamy, very good! Pad Thai 5/5 This was definitely my favorite!!! It was like an elevated pad thai. Very tart, sweet, delicious, umami, and overall just good. Very nice vibe, great place to take pictures, and the workers were very nice!! Seating is a bit strange. This is a great place to have an elevated dinner but not a great place if you want to eat real Thai food. Thank you to the workers for supplying us with a very nice experience.
